I've been happy with my Capital One card. No specific airline. They say no
black outs but I don't tend to travel on days they would black out.

Have you ever redeemed miles on it? I have an offer sitting on my
desk, double miles and no fee.

In my experience, the best airline card has been United. I've had
three free tickets to Aspen! I've also flown to DC on a biz trip, very
convenient, down one day and back two days later, no Saturday stay
etc.

I have the miles on American but they never seem to fly where I'm
going.

Delta is useless. I have piles of miles, but I can never get a
SkySaver fare (25K miles). If there's an outbound SkySaver seat, then
there's not one returning. So it's always SkyChoice (50K miles). I
think I will use it to send my wife to Florida to visit a school pal.
